In-any-event, I am currently trying to provide for and take care of my mother(who has been recovering from a stroke and a number of other medical conditions) as well as attempting to be the only positive male example my 14-year-old brother has...

...This has proved to be quite difficult considering my own medical issues, most notably, a spine that never developed correctly along with half a dozen vertebrae whose disks enjoy spending their free time having #relations with my sciatic nerve...

#ICanBePersuadedTo admit that I'm sure it's probably fairly obvious by now where at least a fraction of my fascination with Neurology comes from... #Neuroscience

If staying healthy wasn't challenging enough, ne⏳"we've got ahead, financially" we're hit w/ fraudulent maintenance fees4things that were either never fixed or even serviced properly. If we inquire on a matter there is quickly a transition2new leadership&the process starts over.

Additionally, after filing a complaint, we're then raided by local law enforcement w/ "no knock" warrants...where I get 2 witness the horror of strange men w/ guns bursting n2 my home, proceeding 2 search everything as they harass my mother,calling her Jessica??? #WhoTFisJessica

I'm sorry I haven't said anything in a while. I've been staying in a motel about an hour outside of town. When I left the house that night, I just kept driving until I felt like I was far enough away to feel safe.

I called a locksmith but they weren't able to come out right away, and there was no way I was going back to the house without new locks. So I've been waiting it out here until I can go back. Basically doing nothing. Jumping at every little sound and feeling crazy.

Finally, a couple days ago, the locksmith called back and said he'd come out, so I checked out of the motel and got in my car to drive home. It was a pretty long drive back, and the closer I got to the woods the worse I felt.

2/ Room-temperature superconductivity has been a holy grail in physics for literally over 100 years. If we could find a material that was superconducting at room temperature, it would allow us to transport electrical power for free, and would revolutionize a bunch of industries.

3/ There is no fundamental reason (that we know) why some material couldn't be superconducting at room temperature. But after a century of trying to find such material the best superconductor still needs to be cooled to 90 Kelvin (-183 Celsius).

World Cup has me feeling nostalgic so I went back and found this in the archives. Back when all the hair was on my head instead of my face

For most of my childhood I thought I was going to grow up and go pro and then I realized that Louisiana is not exactly a hotbed of soccer talent against which to compare your skills. Shout out to the home state, we’ve got great gumbo, but sill trying to figure out the soccer part

This photo can also create the illusion that I had a robust & thriving college soccer career, which is uhh not the case. I didn’t get as much playing time as I wanted & had a 19 year old existential crisis & was then like “Hey! I’m going to be a writer instead!” And here we are.

As always, I am not going to recapitulate the column--you will have to go to my employer's site, and read it, if you want to benefit from all the gorgeous turns of phrase and scintillating ideas I have hand-crafted specially for them.

This tweetstorm will only contain new material, specifically, remarks on questions or comments that readers had about the AWESOME, THOUGHT-PROVOKING column they had just read.
